No, aggressive censorship is not particularly a Nazi action. It is a common adversarial method used by those influential enough to use it. As witnessed by the revelations of the twitter files.

Your right. I gave it a shot. Not worth it. I think it best if we just STFU and let them totally own the forum with their unopposed rants. I think, after a while, most members would begin to find it boring, and then tune out as the total circle jerk drones on and on. I'm out.

own the forum with their unopposed rants.

thats funny .. i'll be impressed when you to actually provide some facts to back up. or counter Actual news stories and Actions and words of the sitting POTUS.

until then. keep thinking your comments are thoughtful positions

here's another factoid. or i guess another Rant.

its sad Zelinsky need to correct our President with actual facts

Zelensky has chosen to point out publicly where Trump is wrong (and Putin). It’s not 4% support for his presidency, for example, it’s 57%. Not $500bn in US support to Ukraine, more like $100bn.

Donald Trump is “living in a disinformation space”, Zelensky says, but he even couches that in talk of respect and gratitude. It can’t be easy to watch your closest ally suddenly switch position on all that is important to you.

US President Donald Trump's administration is attempting to rehire officials with the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) who worked on the government response to bird flu before being fired over the weekend,

Senators have in recent days made the case to Cabinet secretaries and other Trump officials to let money flow back into their states. They are trying to finagle exceptions to President Donald Trump’s sweeping executive orders or cuts made by billionaire Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service that freeze hundreds of billions of dollars, including money for farmers and infrastructure projects. That push comes as the administration has also sought to fire a wide swath of federal employees — some of whom live in red states.


Funny how that works

Ahh, the Twitter files, we’ll get back to those shortly

The Department of Government Efficiency, the federal cost-cutting initiative championed by Elon Musk, published on Monday a list of government contracts it has canceled, together amounting to about $16 billion in savings itemized on a new “wall of receipts” on its website.

Almost half of those line-item savings could be attributed to a single $8 billion contract for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. But it appears that the DOGE list vastly overstated the actual intended value of that contract. A closer scrutiny of a federal database shows that a recent version of the contract was for $8 million, not $8 billion. A larger total savings number published on the site, $55 billion, lacked specific documentation.
A bunch of incompetent work, by people operating far beyond their capabilities.

This is absolutely the Twitter Files for the government.

Elon wanted to humiliate his enemies. But what Twitter Files showed was generally careful governance, some bad calls, & stuff taken out of context by “journalists” who didn’t understand the basics. Same here.

It’s the same methodology boosted by the same people.

Crawl through a bunch of stuff, find something that seems outrageous, make an online mob lose their minds. Destroy work, upend lives. Get it totally wrong, move to the next thing.

This time it’s not online governance, it’s actual government.
